When guitarists hear the phrase “entry level”, it more often than not gives one cause to run away…far away from any acoustic guitar boasting such a description. However, throw the name “Taylor Guitars” in front of it and it becomes an entirely different story.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Taylor 110e is its handsome good looks and rich, appealing appointments. It’s a full size acoustic/electric dreadnought design featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and layered sapele back and sides. Sitka is a dense, straight-grained wood that features the highest strength and elasticity ratio. It provides top quality for soundboards and a brighter tone. It also sports an Ebony fretboard and bridge and a Tusq nut and saddle. The fretboard inlay is adorned with Pearloid Dots, further enhancing this great acoustic guitar’s arresting good looks. A durable varnish finish that really brings out the guitar’s beautiful natural finish protects the Taylor 110e, thus giving it a great look and smooth feel.

Strum the Taylor 110e and it fills the room with a warm, sweet tone…not too high-endy and not too bassy…just quality, even, full-range tone that is decidedly the sound of a Taylor. It has a quality build and feel as it’s made to last a lifetime.

The 110e's rich and versatile voice can now be amplified with the Taylor ES-T Under-Saddle Transducer pickup. The ES-T is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. It features an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full ES. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.

*Disclaimer: Beware of the Taylor 110e acoustic-electric guitar; for once you pick it up, you wont want to put it down. Comes with a custom-fitted gig bag.

I mainly play alone. Have not played it with other musicians yet.I found it cosmetically perfect out of the box, and it tuned pretty well, although the string action is a bit higher than I expected. What I like most about it is its projection. A good, louder sound than I expected out of it. The satin finish on the neck makes it easier to slide without dragging as on veneer or lacquered finished necks.

Until now, I underestimated Taylor guitars. No, it's not a Gibson, nor a Martin, but it's not supposed to be. For the price, it's a good buy. It has a very balanced sound throughout, not tinny, nor muddy. It may not be my last Taylor. I may buy another, more expensive model down the road, if this one holds up the way I expect it might.

I just got this guitar today...and I love it. It has such a loud sound and its got a very pure sound. I haven't tried out the electrics to this yet, but its great! I love it so much, and for the price its at, you can't do much better. Its a great guitar for a Taylor. Bottom line, you are getting a HIGH end acoustic guitar for a LOW price. what more could you ask for?

I have been playing for over 25 years and have owned boat-loads of guitars. Takamine, Ovation, Ibanez, Washburn, Gibson, and the list goes on and on. Hands down this is the best sounding acoustic guitar I have owned. While like most of you out there I would have preferred to purchase a $2500 Taylor but this guitar has the wonderful Taylor, all wood sound for the majority of us on a budget. Very balanced between low, mid and high. There is nothing that beats it in this price range.......nothing! I did make the mistake of putting Martin Marquis strings on it after the factory installed Elixer Acoustic Bronze wore out and it did not have the playablity or the great sound so I immediately returned to the Elixir strings. I have owned this guitar for over a year and plugged or unplugged it continues to perform around the house, in a band, or in solo performances. I cannot say enough good things about this instrument. I promise you won't be disappointed!

For the price it will blow any other guitar away in that price range.The pickup is very low end,and with the guitar processors I was getting only 20 hrs of battery life. I replaced the pickup with a Fishman matrix and the sound is like a canon.I have not had to replace the battery in over a year. It is fierce and sounds better than martin guitars in that price range. I plug into my DR880 drum machine onboard guitar processor and into the fender acoustasonic amp. You have a sound that is better than most $2000 guitars in that price range. Throw some elixir strings and you have the best sounding guitar for miles around. I own James goodall and larivee guitars so I know what good sound is. This will wipe out any other guitar under a $1000 dollars. For the price you cannot find anything better. The sound will make other guitars jealous and intimidated. If was going to spend $2000 on a guitar, I would spend it on a Taylor 110,a Boss DR880 drum machine and a acoustasonic amp by fender and get that package for under $2000. You cant go wrong!

"This guitar feels like a dream with tone to match, unplugged or direct. I bought mine over 6 months ago and it still has perfect intonation (even with using the gig bag). I will be buying a hard shell case with a nice snug fit to prevent any damage. Go with D'Addario EXP 13s for strings or Elixir. Then just buy extra B + E (17 + 13) when they corrode... "
